Australian Historic Geoscience Field Notebooks Collection

Collection of field notebooks recording mainly geological observations made by staff of Geoscience Australia (GA) and its predecessors, Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) and Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), while conducting fieldwork between 1930 and 2010. The notebooks are currently being digitised. Value: Historic and scientific significance. Many sites visited are remote and have rarely been revisited. Some notebooks also record observations on fauna and flora. Scope: Geographical scope is largely Australia, pre- and post-Independence Papua New Guinea (PNG), and the Australian Antarctic Territory, but other countries and territories are represented.本数据集为1930年至2010年间，澳大利亚地质调查局（Geoscience Australia，GA）及其前身矿产资源局（Bureau of Mineral Resources，BMR）与澳大利亚地质调查组织（Australian Geological Survey Organisation，AGSO）的野外作业人员所记录的地质观测野外笔记合集。目前该批野外笔记正处于数字化进程中。该数据集兼具历史与科学价值：其记录的诸多考察点位地处偏远，鲜少被再次到访；部分笔记还附带了动植物观测记录。其地理覆盖范围主要涵盖澳大利亚、独立前后的巴布亚新几内亚（Papua New Guinea，PNG）以及澳大利亚南极领地，同时也包含其他部分国家与地区。
